Explore the island and savor its dramatic views and landscape, quaint villages, farms and well-preserved taulas of the island's megalithic civilization. Perhaps take in a castle or a monastery with impressive cliff-top views. Be sure not to miss the Plaza de Espana, with market stalls lining the arcades of the former Carmelite friary, where you can purchase local art work and souvenirs. Savor fresh seafood, some paella, delightful local wines, and its signature cheese at quaint local tapas bars.

The ancient capital of Minorca, Ciutadella perches at the western end of the island, a small but bustling port acclaimed for its medieval charm. A broad avenue known as the Contramurada encompasses this picturesque city and follows the route where the ancient city walls once towered. As you walk along the streets and through the squares of delightful Cuitadella, you will be struck by the abundance of splendid churches and Gothic and Baroque palaces. They rise as silent witnesses to the city's historic past. Nevertheless, Cuitadella has a flair for blending the past and present. For instance, the current town hall was once the palace of the Arab governor and later served as a royal palace, until the British moved Minorca's capital east to Mahon in 1722. Following your guided walking tour, you will have more than an hour to further explore Ciutadella, admiring its distinct Moorish and Spanish-influenced architecture.
Please note: This tour includes approximately one mile of walking over mainly flat surfaces with a few steps to negotiate.

This briefing considers the implications for biodiversity conservation and local people's livelihoods of the current discussion on reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries (RED-DC, henceforth RED) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The potential for RED to deliver multiple benefits for biodiversity conservation, livelihoods and other ecosystem services is well documented (UNEP-WCMC 2007). But it is important to note that RED could also have negative impacts on biodiversity and local livelihoods, for example as a result of the displacement of deforestation.Resource Type: Reports
This reports looks at the carbon storage function of protected areas as a contribution to the development of strategies for reducing emissions from land use change. In particular, it is relevant to the current discussions surrounding reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).Resource Type: Reports
This study combines the best available data on carbon stocks and deforestation with protected area data to estimate the area of forest loss within the protected area network of the humid tropical forest biome during 2000-2005.Resource Type: Reports
Deforestation and degradation account for around 20% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, widely believed to drive climate change. Growing concerns about the impacts of climate change have fuelled international interest in developing mechanisms to slow deforestation and degradation rates, such as the 'Reduce Emissions for Deforestation and Degradation' (REDD) Programme. Its potential contribution to rural poverty reduction could be immense, but REDD mechanisms may also entail new risks. This paper presents a framework for understanding the linkages between REDD and poverty, and conducts an initial analysis of the poverty implications of REDD.Resource Type: Reports
This report considers the measures that have been and might be undertaken to promote environmental co-benefits from REDD. Such measures may be linked to decisions on financing. The report surveys the measures that are found in existing REDD initiatives, including in the proposed UNFCCC REDD mechanism itself. It considers the options and opportunities for how these measures might be amended and developed in the future.Resource Type: Reports
Those who are involved in the development of REDD+ strategies need to consider not only the legal regulations and policies that have been created specifically for REDD+, but also existing frameworks concerning the protection of the environment and land use related sectors like agriculture, mining and spatial planning. This document provides an analysis of national and sub-national policy and legislative frameworks in Indonesia that are relevant to the planning and implementation of practical REDD+ actions.Resource Type: Reports
This paper provides an overview of the issues surrounding and opportunities for achieving 'multiple benefits' from Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in developing countries (REDD). The UN‐REDD Programme understands the term 'multiple benefits' to include both the ecosystem and social benefits of REDD.
It is an output of the International Support Functions component of the UN‐REDD Programme, relating specifically to the development of output 3.2: 'Tools to encourage the capture of ecosystem service co‐benefits developed',focussing on the ecosystem aspects of multiple benefits.Resource Type: Reports
This report is a contribution to the UN's International Year of Biodiversity and is a complement to the UNEP-hosted Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) which is bringing visibility to the wealth of the world's natural capital. It documents over 30 successful case studies referencing thousands of restoration projects ranging from deserts and rainforests to rivers and coasts. The report confirms that restoration is not only possible but can prove highly proftable in terms of public savings; returns and the broad objectives of overcoming poverty and achieving sustainability. It also provides important recommendations on how to avoid pitfalls and how to minimize risks to ensure successful restoration.Resource Type: Reports
The conservation of world forests is an important measure in order to address the ever-worsening consequences of climate change. Tanzania has over 34 million hectares of forests and woodland habitats (more than 30% of the whole country). This report concludes that REDD strategies in Tanzania should be integrated with, and improve upon, current conservation strategies.Resource Type: Reports

The World is a common name for the whole of human civilization, specifically human experience, history, or the human condition in general, worldwide, i.e. anywhere on Earth. In a philosophical context it may refer to: (1) the whole of the physical Universe, or (2) an ontological world (see world disclosure). In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts.

But limns in water, and but writes in dust.

1912 – Arizona, Prostitution Row, and the Virgin Cocktail
2 oz Dry Gin
1 oz Dry Vermouth
1 tsp Grenadine or Raspberry Syrup
1 dash Angostura Bitters
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice
Stir well and strain into a cocktail glass
Garnish with a cherry, naturally
* * *
Today may be Valentine's Day, but it is also – more significantly – the Arizona Centennial, marking the 100th anniversary of our 48 contiguous united states and, as a by-product, the end of the Old West. After all, when your last "territory" dons statehood, things stop being as fast and loose as they once were. Fortunately for us, we're talking Arizona, which – state or not – has always seen things its own way.
"Forty-Eighth Star To Be Placed On Flag Of The American Nation On St. Valentine's Day" read the February 14, 1912 headline in Arizona Journal-Miner. Across the state, canons, dynamite, bells, and, guns of all sizes would toll 48 times in honor of President Taft's signing of the statehood proclamation and George W. P. Hunt's assumption of the Governorship of the state. And, while the term "Arizona Territory" may conjure images of the Old West, by 1912, Arizona the state was a relatively civilized place. Contained in the very same issue of the Journal-Miner mentioned above are advertisements for Model Ts, Sealshipt Oysters, Wine Companies, Electricity, Cigars, and Hart Schaffner & Marx suits – all the comforts of a modern life. Of course, that was in the cities. For those looking for it, the rough and wild west of old was still very much alive in mining towns like Jerome. Read More…

A cool bar with good food and a nice atmosphere, Cherry Tree gave a barren stretch of Gowanus something it needed badly.
I went there and they overcharged my credit card to give themselves a larger tip. I thought that 25% was good enough but I guess they felt differently. I called a number of times to speak to a manager and when I told them what the problems was, they told me that the manager wasn't in. I called on different days/ times. If the manager is never there, that would explain a lot. I left my information and was never contacted. Finally had to take up the issue with my bank after the bartender hung up on me after my 4th call. Never going back. If you do decide to go, make sure you pay in cash, because you cannot trust the staff with your credit card information!
Awesome trivia night – On Wednesday nights they host a trivia tournament which is a blast. A great group of people gather to answer a bunch of fun questions. The winning team gets a $100 towards their bar tab and 2nd and 3rd get free pitchers.
I am super glad I found this place as it is just an over all sick vibe. If you are in the area looking for a great place to get your drink on this is the spot. Also very fun day drinking with good pizza and food.
A livesaver for bar-starved Boerum Hill – If you're not in the mood for the seediness of Hanks, and with the Brooklyn Tavern now alternating between a morgue and a raunchy frat house, Cherry Tree is 'da Bomb. 4th Avenue Pub is a bit too closed-quarters and Pacific Standard is a little too obnoxiously hip. Good drink specials and friendly staff. They don't have food anymore but you can easily order from a vast menu selection.
a favorite – i love the bar. hands down. i don't need to say more but i must. the selection of beers is outstanding and even with the food on hiatus it is still enjoyable, plus you can order food from the corner and it's there in 10 minutes.
the bartenders are phenomenal. was there today and the daytime girl (Kate i think her name was) was fun as she rocks out to the music selection while making a banging margarita. (she's easy on the eyes as well). the guys are sweet and reserved but once they strike up a conversation just sweethearts.
loved it. i'd recommend it to anyone in parkslope or in NYC near a train.
Cool place. Chill vibe. Great beer. – I love a good pint of local beer, in an unpretentious bar that I can bring a date to or where I can meet friends after work. I like not having to shout for or fight my way to the bartender. I also hate bratty young hipsters that ruin neighborhoods and don't know how to behave. Keep your clubs. You can have the LES and your shots. Go to Union Hall, did you know that place has free bocci ball? But stay outa my way, kid.
Outstanding Pizza, Brilliant Atmosphere – Whoa, whoa, whoa... Well, I never expected reviews like this. My girlfriend and I lived in Brooklyn for three months during the summer of 2007 and this was our favorite place. We are not big drinkers i.e. one, maybe two with dinner, and are fairly reserved being from the midwest. I had noticed this place and so we went. It was an amazing experience! The pizza there was phenominal, the crust was perfect, thin crust, and absolutly delicious. The bar does fill fast but I would rather sit on the patio anyway. Speaking of which, coolest patio setting anywhere. They have a brick oven in the back of it and that really added to the atmosphere. My one complaint? They gave me the wrong beer...so they let me drink that one and also got me the right one...and didn't charge me for either. Not really much of a complaint.
best to avoid – Very disappointing attempt at a UES bar. Over priced drinks and frequent closings by the board of health are real draws. There is nothing like heading out to meet some friends at a bar and seeing a closed by board of health sign on the door.
I Dig. I Chill. I Drink. – I've had some really nice experiences here. It is what you make it... you can either come alone to read your book, go alone and chat up the super friendly bartenders and patrons, or it's a nice place to hang with your own group of friends. It has a slightly upscale/dive pubby feel if that is possible. I find it a nice respite on that weird stretch of 4th avenue... hey, it beats the KFC and holy roller latino church :)
I wanted so bad to like you, Chery Tree – I walk by the Cherry Tree every time I head to the subway. The signs on the windows promising nights of trivia, Guitar Hero, and karaoke in a setting that looked like a comfortable place where everyone would eventually know your name. Unfortunately, that dream is now gone from me.
Sure bartender, I'll buy your story that your boss won't let in groups of people if the females are under 23 and the males are under 25, as if your boss was creating some modern hybrid of ladies night and the law. Then I'll further buy your story when you are pressed for details and explain that if any one of us were there by ourselves, it would be OK. I sure can't wait for that magic age of 24, when my female friends become the epitome of classy social drinkers, while all my male friends will suddenly become violent and destructive drunks (but only when in groups)!
Trying to keep out immature kids so they won't "tear down your signs"? Advertising 5 dollar beer bongs and nights of beer pong is really a good way to do that. For Christ's sake, Cherry Tree, you have Big Buck Hunter. You can't fool me into thinking you run the swankiest lounge in Brooklyn with your garbage stories.
Want to know what is actually "immature"? Your bartender pulling out his cell phone and making a fake phone call to his "boss" to check to make sure that the "ladies night" policy is really in effect. If you don't want us there because you have never seen a Maine ID before and you are confused by the pretty colors, then man up and kick us out. Don't give some fake apology and BS story then give your buddy a high five as we walk out the door. This isn't some one horse town. I don't need you.
Don't bother if you're under 25 -- they're age discriminatory – I feel I could more accurately review this bar if I had been given the chance to actually patronize it. When I, a female, arrived with 3 male friends (the 4 of us either 22 or 23 years of age), we were literally kicked out of the bar due to both our ages and our genders. The bartender exasperatedly explained to us that the bar did not allow groups of females under 23 or males under 25 in the bar AT ALL because "people that age trash the place and rip down our signs". This was a Sunday night, very quiet, and my friends and I were completely sober and amicable upon entering this bar. I was in disbelief at this "policy" of theirs and suspect it was a defense of the whims of the bartender that night. For a place that offers beer bongs, karaoke, and Guitar Hero nights, it seems fairly illogical to deny any groups of 23-25 year olds admittance to the establishment. Don't bother trying to go to Cherry Tree -- if you're their target demographic, they inexplicably won't even let you in.

OK, these beanbags are waaay nicer than I thought they would be! I broke my 5 ball endurance the first day I got them because they are so easy to juggle. I like the size and fabric because my hands do not get tired from grabbing them like a ball. They settle gently into my hand and have a beautiful throw. I got 4 rotations of 5 ball mills for the first time with these just yesterday. I'm getting more!

Royal Worcester White Wine Glasses - Pack of 4
Quintessentially British, Royal Worcester has been building its reputation for quality, style and innovation since 1751.
This set of 4 white wine glasses from their stunning Grand Chateau range continues this tradition thanks to Kwarx® sheer rim technology - a new material that instills the glasses with superior strength, so they're less likely to break. Key to this is the invisible yet incredibly strong bond between the bases, stems and bowls of the glasses, which results in a smooth surface devoid of weak points.
It also ensures the glasses retain a stunning 100% clarity, allowing the delicate tonal shades of the white wine inside them to come to the fore.
These glasses are specially shaped with a narrower body than the co-ordinating red wine glasses (available separately - see item number 3Y43Q). This helps slow down the rate of oxidisation, which can interfere with the subtle flavours of the wine.
They're dishwasher safe for easy cleaning and won't taint and go cloudy - even after repeated washing.

- Key facts on the importance of forests
- Forests and climate change adaptation
Forests facilitate adaptation: Managing standing forests better, and expanding tree cover through socially- and environmentally-responsible reforestation and restoration, helps deliver a range of livelihood and environmental benefits that assist both people and ecosystems adapt to climate change.1 The benefits include, but are not limited to, the points listed below.
Safety nets: Forests are important safety nets for communities, helping them cope with climate shocks. Many forest products are more resilient to climate variability and extremes than crops, and so are crucial to the resilience of local livelihoods. If crops fail due to drought2 or assets are lost because of floods,3 communities can sell forest and tree products – timber, fuelwood and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) – for income. They can also consume products – such as mushrooms, sago, fruits and bushmeat – as food. In addition, fodder from trees can help ensure the survival of livestock for months at a time if drought strikes.4
Agriculture: Trees on farms protect the soil and regulate water and microclimate, and help protect crops and livestock from climate variability. Crops grown in agroforestry systems are more resilient to drought, excess precipitation, and temperature fluctuations and extremes.5 Research in Africa, for example, shows that leguminous trees can make agriculture more drought resilient by improving water infiltration and increasing productivity through nitrogen fixation.6
Watersheds: Forests contribute to regulating river flows – base flows during dry seasons and peak flows during rainfall events – minimising risks related to water scarcity and floods.7 In Flores, Indonesia, for example, tropical forested watersheds have been shown to increase base flows and reduce the impacts of drought on downstream agrarian communities.8
Coasts: Coastal forests such as mangroves help reduce risks from disasters relating to climate extremes (storms or cyclones) and sea-level rise (coastal flooding). Research in India9 and Vietnam10 has shown that coastal settlements with mangroves in close proximity suffer less damage from such events than those without.
Cities: Urban forests and trees provide green infrastructure – shade, evaporative cooling, and rainwater interception, storage and infiltration – in cities. They can play a significant role in urban adaptation to climate variability and change11 by reducing temperatures during heat waves.
Regional climate: Tropical forests influence precipitation and can have a cooling effect on a region through increased evaporation and cloud cover.12 This can occur over large distances: for example, land use change in the humid tropics can influence precipitation in the middle and higher latitudes.13
National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs): The critical role of forests and trees is already recognised in projects on human adaptation, several of which are being proposed in NAPAs. Some examples include the conservation or rehabilitation of mangroves to protect vulnerable communities in coastal areas of Bangladesh and Cambodia, and for regulating water flows and providing fuel wood to local communities in Benin.14 Forest and tree services can also support and increase the effectiveness of technical or infrastructural adaptation measures, while providing co-benefits for livelihoods, biodiversity and climate change mitigation.

Tentacruel is truly a Pokémon to be feared in UU, and can compete in standard as well. Its offensive power with Swords Dance-boosted Sludge Bombs combined with Hydro Pump tends to be just too much for teams in both tiers. However, Tentacruel can only really switch into fellow Water-types and perhaps Skarmory, because he has low Defense, and is weak to Thunderbolt and Earthquake, two of the most common attacks in the game. Psychic weakness doesn't help either. His immunity to Toxic and resistance to Water and Ice helps a lot though, it makes him a great counter to Milotic and Suicune in standard, as well as Blastoise and Walrein in UU.
Simple idea that works pretty well. Switch into something that will switch out once it sees Tentacruel and use Substitute. Wear down Steels, Rocks, and Grounds with Hydro Pump or Surf, and, later on, Swords Dance up and Sludge Bomb away. Works very well in standard, but really shines in UU, because about everything that resists Sludge Bomb is weak to your Water move. The main physical walls are Walrein (who cannot touch Tentacruel with the standard set of Rest, Sleep Talk, Toxic, Ice Beam), Gligar (who is OHKOed by a Water move), and Solrock (who is also OHKOed). In OU, you have stuff like Suicune with Roar, Weezing, Swampert, and the like around to ruin your fun.
Surf has the obvious accuracy advantage over Hydro Pump (and the slightly less obvious PP advantage, but that's not that big of a deal, as the Water move's function is solely to hit a very limited number of Pokémon), but Hydro Pump's power can come in handy. With these EVs, Surf will never OHKO max HP Aggron, but Hydro Pump always will. Hydro Pump will easily OHKO Gligar, even if it has max HP, while Surf will always OHKO min HP Gligar, but bulkier versions will survive. Hydro Pump also just barely ekes out an OHKO on max HP Solrock.
Special Sweeping Tentacruel. Substitute is to bluff the first set, and allows you to get in a free hit on whatever switches in without risk. Absolutely owns some common counters to the standard Tentacruel (Swampert and Quagsire, Salamence etc.). Hidden Power Electric can be used as a fourth slot also to take care of Gyarados who can mess this set up pretty well otherwise. Mantine in UU cannot do much to Tentacruel, so usually you'll just want to keep Substitute. Try not to reveal that you are using a special Tentacruel until the surprise will get you a KO (Substitute and Surf / Hydro Pump should be the only moves you use at first).
With Timid you can expect Tentacruel to outspeed everything of 105 base Speed and under as long as they don't have a Speed boosting nature (so Adamant Salamence and Modest Zapdos in OU, and Modest Manectric / Electabuzz in UU), and anything base 90 Speed or lower even if they have a +Speed nature (including Kangaskhan and Gligar), but with Modest you will have more attacking power. Just max out Speed if you go Modest, or, alternately, go as low as 280 Speed to beat Adamant Kangaskhan.
The idea is to set up a Barrier or two, forcing them to attack you from Tentacruel's Special side. Usually this will draw out Electrics like Zapdos, and allow Tentacruel to Mirror Coat that STAB Thunderbolt right in their face. Tentacruel's Special Defense is pretty good, so just by maxing HP, you will survive even a max Special Attack Zapdos Thunderbolt as long as you're on full health. Giga Drain can be used to keep Quagsire and Swampert off your ass, but Toxic will stop them from stalling against you and either switch out or attack you straight up. Hydro Pump is there for some general STAB damage.
While it looks nice on paper, it usually won't work that well. You'll find a lot of people trying to set up something like Substitute or Calm Mind from the likes of Raikou, Gengar and Alakazam on Tentacruel, which he cannot really do anything against. Sometimes they will just weaken with Tentacruel with something else, and then kill you with their Thunderbolt. Or they could repeatedly Earthquake you until it goes critical, which pierces Barrier's defense boost. Still, it can be very neat, and this set actually makes a decent Suicune counter, as even if it Calm Minds to the max, it won't OHKO with Surf and risk a Mirror Coat to the face, not to mention Toxic will keep forcing it to Rest.
For UU, this might work against Lunatone or Manectric, but again beware of Substitute and Calm Mind.
As mentioned in the previous set, Tentacruel can take special hits quite well, and this support set takes advantage of it. Come in on Waters (especially Cloyster) to Rapid Spin those Spikes away or to Toxic foes. Haze helps against Suicune's Calm Mind, or when Curse Snorlax is taking a nap. Note that Haze is illegal with Rapid Spin. Surf or Hydro Pump is there to hit Gengar who may try to block Rapid Spin and Toxic, but it won't do much against Dusclops or Misdreavus. Fillers like Mirror Coat and Sludge Bomb can be put in the last slot. The main problem with this Tentacruel set is that it's weak to many common attacks, and that Blastoise fills its role pretty much better in UU.
Other Options
A physical Hidden Power (most likely Ground, but Fighting works too) is Tentacruel's only real option for attacking, aside from Sludge Bomb, to take advantage of Swords Dance.
Usually Tentacruel should have 310 Speed in UU, unless it is a more defensive set, is an important point to hit, as the only used Pokémon that will be faster than you are the occasional Jolly Fearow, and Timid Manectric / Electabuzz. Hasty is the best nature for mixed sets, as Tentacruel's massive Special Defense is one of its major selling points, but if you're not using your Attack or Special Attack at all, Timid or Jolly should be used respectively. Stack the attacking stat(s) you're using on sweeping Tentacruel, otherwise you'll want to max out HP and put some in Special Defense.
Checks and Counters
Standard: Swampert is the best all-around counter for Tentacruel, as long as Tentacruel isn't packing the rare Giga Drain. It can soak up Sludge Bombs thanks to its resistance, and use its STAB Earthquake to dish out damage. Steels like Skarmory and Metagross get in the way when Tentacruel wants to sweep with Swords Dance, because Skarmory will Roar / Whirlwind away the boosts while Metagross will Earthquake. A few Surfs or Hydro Pumps should do them in though. Gengar is 4x resistant to Sludge Bomb and can Thunderbolt Tentacruel, but again, beware of Surf or Hydro Pump. Zapdos, Jolteon and Raikou may take quite some damage from a Swords Danced Sludge Bomb, but they're quite fast (Zapdos ties with Tentacruel, the other two are faster) and pack STAB Thunderbolts. Beware of Mirror Coat, however. Salamence and Gyarados can Earthquake Tentacruel and resist his Water moves, but their Intimidate won't work on Clear Body versions and Salamence has to watch out for Ice Beam.
UU: Quagsire is an even better counter than Swampert because of Water Absorb, for the rest he works in the same way. Whiscash plays a mini-Swampert as well, but to a lesser extent. Hypno with some Defense EVs and Reflect can pose trouble, paralyzing Tentacruel with Thunder Wave or hitting hard with STAB Psychic. A Swords Danced Sludge Bomb will bang him up sooner or later though. Kangaskhan can take a beating and try for a paralysis with Body Slam or hit hard with Earthquake. Walrein can Earthquake, or Encore Substitute or Swords Dance, but again these Swords Danced Sludge Bombs hurt. For the rest, Tentacruel is pretty hard to beat in UU. Your best bet is hitting it hard when you can, preferably with Earthquake. If your team is full of physical offense, Psychic, and Thunderbolt, you can just make it impossible for Tentacruel to ever switch in.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Flags at local public and Catholic schools were flown at half-mast today (Monday) in response to last Friday's tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.
The Halton District School Board notified its parents that while flags at its schools and buildings were at half-mast, the schools had no general announcements about the tragic events, due to the range in age and maturity of its students.
The board has informed parents it will leave it to parents to determine how to address the issue at home.
However, principals and teachers were responding to student concerns as they arose and they have been given appropriate resources to do so.
"The Halton District School Board has been deeply affected by the tragic events in Connecticut on Friday," said director of education David Euale, in a letter to parents.
"The shooting and resulting loss of life of both very young students and educational staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School profoundly saddens us as we extend our sympathy to students, parents, teachers and community members in Newtown, Connecticut."
Euale also mentioned the safety of students locally, saying student safety is the highest priority for the school board. Along with the Halton Regional Police Service, the board has measures to ensure student safety. Lockdown drills have been developed and are practiced in all public schools. A Halton police/school board protocol also ensures there is coordination between the police and school board resources in the event of a threat or emergency.

It is also a tragic, horrifying page-turner, whose evocation of wartime victims is unforgettable...A deeply involving tale, no less so because we realize, almost from the first chapter, that we can't trust Hata's version of events. [Lee] enlists the reader's full energies to interpret this enigmatic speaker, who saddens, baffles and unfuriates us all at once."—Chicago Tribune
"Once again, this gifted young author has given us a beautifully tapestried story of seeking identity and acceptance in another culture while remaining separate from the tug of it."—The Christian Science Monitor
"Lee elegantly creates suspense out of the seemingly static story of a man trying hard not to feel. He has written a wise and humane novel that both amplifies the themes of identity and exile he addressed in Native Speaker, and creates a wonderfully resonant portrait of a man caught between two cultures and two lives."—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

The Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden
All aboard the Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden! An annual holiday favorite, the Train Show features more than 140 model NYC landmarks (Yankee Stadium, Radio City Music Hall, and more) made out of tree bark, twigs, pine cones, and other natural materials.
More than a dozen electric trains will zoom around a nearly quarter-mile of track, making this train show one of the biggest and best in the city. More related fun: In the Everett Children's Adventure Garden, kids can explore activity train stops, a craft studio where they can make their own trains and passengers (open weekends only) and participate in an "All Aboard with Thomas and Friends" sing-along and performance beginning January 1. Plus, just on the opening Saturday (11/16), hit up the garden for a holiday tree lighting and carols by the Westchester Chordsmen at 4pm.
10am-6pm (7pm weekends), free with an All-Garden Pass, nybg.org
